Abstract
Purpose of review: Multiple myeloma is a chronic malignancy and with evolving treatment options, understanding the economic burden and cost-effectiveness of therapies is crucial for clinicians and researchers.
Recent findings: In this, we review the recent approval of Bispecific antibodies and CAR-T for myeloma and their cost implications, including direct and indirect costs. We compare this to current regimens and provide cost comparisons in this review. We conclude that the use of more effective therapies such as CAR-T in earlier lines of therapies may be more cost-effective depending on the country and model used. Further studies are essential to better understand the cost-effectiveness of bispecific antibodies including head-to-head comparisons to CAR-T therapy.
期刊介绍:
his journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hematologic malignancy.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and T-cell and other lymphoproliferative malignancies. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
